THE NEWMAN BREASTFEEDING CLINICINTERNATIONAL BREASTFEEDING CENTRE

At the Newman Breastfeeding Clinic we provide reliable and well-researched information based on 34 years of Dr. Jack Newman’s leadership, experience and our evidence-based practice. We offer real, practical breastfeeding help.

Our staff have worked with thousands of mothers and babies, listened carefully to their experiences and challenges, intently observed what works best for the breastfeeding dyad and as such have refined our understanding of how to help mothers and babies fulfill their desire to breastfeed. Taking time to learn and change is an important part of our process. We have learned much over the years and with each mother and baby we have met. We now offer our expertise and enthusiasm for breastfeeding around the world and to you.

Dr. Jack Newman graduated from the University of Toronto medical school in 1970 and completed his internship at Vancouver General Hospital. Following this, he trained in pediatrics in Quebec City and then at the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto from 1977-1981. In 1981, Dr. Newman became a Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians of Canada, as well as Board Certified by the American Academy of Pediatrics.

Dr. Newman was a staff paediatrician at the Hospital for Sick Children emergency department from 1983 to 1992, and was the acting chief of emergency services. During his time at the Hospital for Sick Children, he founded the first hospital-based breastfeeding clinic in Canada in 1984. He has been a consultant for UNICEF for the Baby Friendly Hospital Initiative, where he evaluated the first candidate hospitals in Gabon, the Ivory Coast, and Canada. In 2013, Dr. Newman was awarded the Queen’s Jubilee Medal for service to the community.

At our Clinic, we help and support women and babies overcome breastfeeding difficulties.

To help with breastfeeding, Dr. Jack Newman personally provides a free email answering service to women and health professionals, maintains this website as a source of reliable breastfeeding information, creates videos for women to learn about breastfeeding.
